Bunkers Hill

Bunkers Hill is a city-centre pub in Nottingham's Hockley district, close to the arena and Old Market Square. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in for a proper pint without leaving anyone tied up outside. It's the kind of neighbourhood spot that works just as well for a quick drink as it does for a longer session.

Food is served and the indoor dog-friendly area covers the dining space too. That means the whole group can eat together while your dog supervises proceedings from under the table. It's a straightforward setup that removes the usual logistical tangle of finding somewhere that actually means it when they say dog friendly.

The location makes it particularly useful if you're visiting the city centre or heading to an event nearby. Hockley has plenty to explore on foot and having a reliable dog-welcome base to return to takes the guesswork out of the day.
